Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes.
1916.
Mathilde Blind
Chill as ice.
1
Fluttering to the ground, dropped like a wounded bird.
2
Glaring at each other like two gaunt wolves with a famished brood.
3
Gleamed like star-motes in the milky-way.
4
Glow and glimmer soft as ocean blush of Indian shells.
5
Gone as evanescent cloudlands.
6
Immortal as the stars.
7
Smiting like a cry.
8
Sweet as odour of the upland thyme.
9
White as foam-drift in the moony shimmer of starlit, wave-pavilioned dells.
10
Young as the hour of birth.
